    Don't go out too fast, trust your training and run your pace. Passing people who rabbited out at the start is a wonderful feeling. Have a great race.

    Good luck! I can't wait to hear all about it.

    I have no tips for you apart from what you already know (and what i keep telling myself)- wear what you've always worn and do what you've always done.
    Take deep breaths and don't spaz. The goal is just to finish, a time is not important for your 1st full.

    Eek! that came around fast.
